Chapter 216 Three Joys Come

Jingshi Jiang Mansion, the red lantern hangs high. is a jubilant scene, but it is a little more lively than the Shangyuan Festival.

Li Rusong, Qin Yifeng, and He Jin, the three elders, each brought their families to Jiangfu as guests. Today's Jiangfu can be called a three-happiness coming, Jiang Zhixuan returned triumphantly after half a year, this is a joy; In the Jiangfu family, except for the servants and servants, everyone has to be knighted and has received a heavy reward, which is the second joy; Zuiyue Building, which has been prepared for more than half a year, will open tomorrow, which is the third joy. It is no wonder that after yesterday's reward banquet, Xiaoxiao immediately sent people to invite these elders to gather in Jiangfu today......

In addition to these relatives, friends and elders, Li Qin also brought his daughter-in-law Wu Huihuan, who had not passed through the door. In the six months that Jiang Zhixuan went on the expedition, Xiaoxiao, after many efforts, finally got his father Li Rusong to reluctantly agree to ask someone to combine Li Qin and Wu Huihuan into one. The result of the combination is naturally too good to be better, and people at this time do not agree with the eight characters of the birthday. It is extremely important to see that seeing that his son and the daughter of the Wu family are so matched, Li Rusong loosened a little at that time. I found an excuse, went to the Wu Mansion, and took the opportunity to meet the daughter of the Wu family and wanted to see how she was.

Unexpectedly, at first sight, Li Rusong was greatly satisfied. This daughter of the Wu family really has some taste of mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons. Up and down the Wu family, I'm afraid there is really no one more sensible than her. Therefore, after Li Rusong weighed it again and again, he had actually agreed to this family business in his heart. But if he wants to be clear, pull down his skin and ask Wu Fu for marriage, he really can't do it.

But this kind of thing is not difficult to be small, as long as your old man agrees in his heart. Soon after that, Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to visit the queen's sister in the palace and mentioned this stubble. The intention is naturally to ask His Majesty the Emperor to marry. The reason why his father-in-law and his old man are worried is that he is worried that His Majesty the Emperor will think that he has also joined the Wei Wang Party......

At that time, it was the time when the good news of the mountain bureaucrats' counterinsurgency was frequently spreading, and Jiang Zhixuan was strategizing, and the report of destroying more than 20,000 mountain bureaucrats and barbarians in one battle had just reached the Beijing Division. Empress Eldest Sun took advantage of Li Shimin's Longyan Dayue to bring up the matter. Li Shimin was so smart that he immediately knew what Li Rusong's concerns were. Thinking that Jiang Zhixuan put aside his wife and young son, it means that he is fighting in the foreign prison army, and he has made such a special honor, he should take care of his wife and children. And this matter is not a big deal, and he knows very well what Li Rusong's character is. So he nodded in response......

At a court meeting in May, Li Shimin seemed to inadvertently ask about Li Qin's marriage. Li Qin was ecstatic at that time, he knew that it must be the queen's mother's roundabout route that the old sister took. So he swore an oath to the curse of heaven and earth: the mountain is not peaceful, and he swears not to become a family! made Li Shimin laugh, then shook his head and sighed:

"The ambition is commendable, but the male should marry, and the female should ......marry" The subsequent things are logical, Li Shimin in front of the hundreds of officials in the court, for the son of Li Rusong, the young Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, Li Qin, the eldest daughter of the Hanlin bachelor Li Qin and the servant Wu Juncheng of the Ministry of Officials, Wu Huihuan proposed marriage. Li Rusong was still a little confused about the situation before, how could this matter go so smoothly? If you want to sleep, your majesty sent a pillow over? immediately reacted, it must have been a good thing done by his cheap daughter. However, since he was already very satisfied with Wu Huihuan in his heart, he naturally kowtowed again and again to thank him. As for Wu Juncheng, the servant of the ministry, he was even more flattered to be able to get the emperor's court's appointment to marry, so he was even more flattered. He also knew that his daughter was dead set on the idle Liupin Hanlin Li Qin. Now that His Majesty is married, everyone is very happy, so why not do it......

It's far away, and after last night's celebration and reward dinner. His Majesty the Emperor announced in front of His Palace. All lieutenant generals and colonels involved in the counterinsurgency of the mountain bureaucrats will be given a one-month holiday. The civilian officials of the DPRK and China are only allowed to rest for half a month because they have more affairs, and after half a month. They went to their new positions. Jiang Zhixuan's newly sealed official position is the history of Hangzhou, that is to say, half a month later, Jiang Zhixuan will go to Hangzhou and become his feudal official......

Jiang Zhixuan has already made up his mind in his heart, no matter what this trip, he will definitely take his beloved wife with him. For so many years, every time I did an imperial errand, I left my beloved wife Xiaoxiao alone. And it's strange to say, every time I leave, my beloved wife has a lot of things to do. Jiang Zhixuan couldn't remember how much debt he owed his beloved wife...... Bottomless emotional debt......

After last night's dinner, Jiang Zhixuan wanted to make this request to His Majesty the Emperor. By the end of the dinner, Li Shimin had already drunk a little high, and was helped back to the palace by the chamberlain to rest. He had to keep this idea in his heart for the time being, anyway, he also knew that before taking office, His Majesty the Emperor would definitely have two more summons. Just take advantage of this time to learn about the recent movements in the court, and figure out why His Majesty deducted such a big black gauze hat for him for no reason, and sent himself to Hangzhou, a fairyland on earth, to enjoy happiness......

Although the front hall of the Jiang Mansion is not magnificent, it is also spacious and bright, and the hundred or so people sitting in it do not look crowded at all. At this time, Li Rusong, He Jin. Qin Yifeng, as well as Wu Juncheng, the servant of the ministry, with their respective sons and nephews who were officials in the court, were chatting and laughing in the front hall. Jiang Zhixuan sat in the main seat, but he was just a smiling guest, most of whom were senior seniors who were detailing the recent movements of the DPRK and China for him.

Wu Juncheng has slowly begun to be decent since Li Shimin married his Wu family and the Li family. Because in his opinion, His Majesty the Emperor's thighs are much thicker than His Royal Highness King Wei. In the past, he had no one in the court, so he had to take refuge in the king of Wei. But now His Majesty has given him a clear path, so that he has the step to advance, and he is as smart as him, where he still doesn't know what to do......

As for Jiang Zhixuan, in the past, when his father-in-law, uncle, uncle and other people visited, he would respectfully invite them to sit on the main seat and accompany him as a guest. But today, when he was humble as usual, everyone lost their minds for a moment. Then all insisted on not sitting in the main seat, and Jiang Zhixuan came to his senses:

In today's group of people, he seems to be the largest in terms of title and real power. In particular, the title of the founding earl, although it has no real power. But it is a symbol of dignity and honor, and in the entire Tang Dynasty, there are less than three digits of people with the title of earl. And everyone in the room, including himself. Obviously, they haven't adapted to their new noble status......

In the backyard, Xiaoxiao, Mrs. Li's >, Wu Huihuan, Aunt Qin, the aunts of the He family and other female dependents sat in the small pavilion in the back garden, chatting about the day. Especially Wu Juncheng's wife, who has just entered this circle, "> the Wu family, is full of envy and compliments for the little ones, which makes everyone frown a little......

The two aunts of the He family, one holding a cute little guy like a pink carving in one hand, that is Yaya and Dandan. In the blink of an eye, the two little ones are already one year old. Yaya grew her long yellow velvet hair. There is a small braid on the left and right sides, and a small pink bow made by herself. A pair of big smart eyes, always looking around curiously, but very quiet.

The eggs are like the original tiger head, almost like a mold cast, eating white and fat, the arms are like lotus roots, one by one white and tender, people can put it in their mouths and bite it lightly. Such a chubby and cute boy, but very restless, he has no ability to move, so he uses a loud voice to make noise every day, disturbing the peace up and down the house......

As for the tiger head, he writhed restlessly in front of Aunt Qin's knees and wanted to run to the front hall to find his father, but Aunt Qin wouldn't let go, and she was about to make him cry...... Seeing this, the little aunt of the He family, who was holding Yaya on the side, quipped:

"Yo, Sister Qin, you have to pay attention, don't make our little ancestor really cry. This little ancestor is terrible now, what about the courtiers of the seventh grade......"

Zheng Qipin's court, the two-year-old tiger head heard Aunt He's words, and calmed down a little. Then he began to writhe again, and tried to break his aunt's hand with his little hand, his little face was flushed, and he pouted and shouted:

"Grandma let go...... Tiger Head is going to his father and uncle......"

Aunt Qin heard him call her aunt and grandmother, and said with a smile on her face: "Are you looking for your father and uncle?" Then my aunt won't let you go! ”

Although the tiger head is young, he is ghostly, and when he heard this, he quickly changed his words: "There is also a grandfather, aunt and grandfather, aunt and grandfather, ......" The female dependents were so amused by him that they couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle: What kind of messy name is this, who taught it...... Aunt Qin still didn't let go, but continued to tease him unrelentingly:

"What are you looking for them?"

Tiger Head was divided for a moment, tilted his head and thought: "Tiger Head is going to pour tea for Daddy and them......"

"Haha......" Aunt He on the side couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed regardless of her manners: "Pour tea...... Lord Tiger Head, you are not as high as the desk now, how can you pour tea for your father and them? ”

The tiger head shouted unconvinced: "I can ride on my father's head, this is high...... Well...... Now Daddy is a big official. My mother said that I can't ride my father's horse anymore, oh, I can ride my uncle, I can ride on my uncle's head and pour tea for my grandfather......"

Li Qin in the front hall sneezed several times inexplicably......

The ladies in the back garden have been teased by the tiger head and laughed so much that their stomachs hurt, but Aunt Qin is not enough: "Your uncle is also a big official, now you can't ride anyone, what should I do?" ”

The tiger head pouted and shouted, "Then why can you ride before?" Why can't I ride now? ”

The ladies were dumbfounded by the question: How do you answer this? How can a little kid who is less than three years old explain it to him? If you can't explain, you don't bother to explain, Xiaoxiao knocked on the sunflower seeds while beckoning to the tiger's head:

"Fool around, come here, eat......" There was already a small pile of peeled sunflower seeds in front of her.

Hearing this, Tiger Head had no choice but to give up the idea of escaping from this group of terrible aunts, and walked over obediently. He is not afraid of heaven and earth, he is afraid of this mother who will beat his little ass if he is strict.

Aunt Qin had no one to amuse, so she said to Xiaoxiao:

"Xiaoxiao, now that Zhixuan is already the founding uncle, it stands to reason that he can open a mansion, what are your two plans? Isn't it possible to continue to live in this small house? ”

When the rest of the ladies heard this, they all looked at Xiaoxiao. The current mansion of Jiangfu, if it is placed in the later generations, it can already be regarded as a mansion, but in this era, as an earl, the mansion of a feudal official with an official residence of the fourth grade, it is really cold. When you go to Dongshi, take a look, any house in the family of a fourth-grade or fifth-grade official is much more luxurious than the current Jiang Mansion. Even Aunt Qin and Aunt He, their husbands are honest officials, but the rewards and benefits of the imperial court, plus some side businesses run by their own families. Their mansion covers an area of at least fifty or sixty acres......

Xiaoxiao nodded while peeling sunflower seeds:

"Don't hide it from my aunt, my nephew and daughter-in-law haven't discussed this matter with Zhixuan. However, according to the nephew's wishes, it is better not to open the house for the time being. Zhixuan is too young now, his foundation is unstable, and he opened the mansion rashly, and the truth of the tree is known to his aunt and aunt. And...... To tell the truth, my nephew and daughter-in-law have always been a little worried about her husband's official position this time......"

Aunt Qin wanted to ask why she was worried, but today was a festive day, so she shook her head and buried the question, thinking that when she went back, she would ask her husband to understand.

"By the way, I heard your uncle say, didn't Your Majesty also give Zhixuan food? How many? Where? Aunt He thought of this and asked casually. Their husband, although he is a celebrity in front of His Majesty the Emperor, has a lot of rewards on weekdays, but this kind of good thing of giving food has never been encountered. For this is not something that everyone can give, but only to those who hold the title......

Xiaoxiao still shook her head: "The list of food is still in the study and has not been opened to see, but I heard that it is in the eastern suburbs of Beijing, and the holy decree says that there are five hundred households, so it should be so many, right?" Fewer words"

"Whoa......" The ladies let out a burst of exclamation in unison!

"There are 500 households...... From now on, Mrs. Jiang's "> will not need to work so hard, with these 500 households, the annual harvest will be at least tens of thousands...... "Wu Juncheng's wife" > Wu, said with envy on her face, looking at her appearance, it seems that even saliva is about to stay.

"By the way, mother, how is this food town managed? My daughter didn't know about it! Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered that she didn't know what was going on with the so-called food eup, so she asked.

She asked this question well, and none of the seven or eight female dependents in the audience had food at home. Therefore, most of them are not very clear, and there was a short silence, and after a while, the Wu family opened his mouth:

"Concubine...... I know a little bit about it! It stands to reason that her husband's official position is higher than that of most people in the field, but she wants to integrate into this small circle earlier, so her words are very tactful, and she calls herself a concubine instead of "Mrs. Ben" >".

Xiao Xiaowen Yan raised his head and glanced at her with some surprise, and then smiled:

"Great, please Mrs. Wu" > say something for Xiaoxiaofen, otherwise it will be a joke when the time comes, but it will be a shame to lose people......"

"Okay......" Wu cleared his throat, and there was a little flattered, and then he hesitated and slowly spoke:

"Before the outer son...... and King Wei moved around more frequently, so the concubine was also very familiar with Princess Wei. For a period of time, Princess Wei went to King Wei's food to buy some local products, and the concubine accompanied her. Looking at that meaning, it seems that the food is the private property of the owner, and the owner has the right to control the land of the people within the food area. However, it is not a matter of life and death, the main way is to collect rent. That is, the people within the scope of these euphoria, the annual output is handed over to the owner of the euphora in proportion. As for what the ratio is, it is up to the master to set it. However, the law seems to stipulate that the maximum shall not exceed fifty per cent......"

She said as little as she kept these things in her heart. As for the harvest, let's decide after discussing it with my husband......

After learning about the food, the ladies talked about something else. For this reward, His Majesty the Emperor gave 5,000 fine palace silks. Today, taking advantage of this opportunity, Aunt Qin and the aunt of the He family have some thoughts of fighting the landlord. Listening to their three words, they didn't leave the palace silk of the reward, and Xiaoxiao still didn't know what these elders were thinking in their hearts. smiled at the moment:

"Come on, my nephew knows what the aunts are thinking. When they left for a while, the aunts asked their subordinates to carry it, and the carriage could carry as much as it could, and ......

Aunt Qin and Aunt He glanced at each other, and passed a victorious look to each other. Mrs. Li> shook her head again and again:

"You guys......"

……

Cui Qiao led her subordinates to a busy afternoon, and finally prepared a sumptuous and delicious dinner. Tomorrow, Zuiyue Lou will open, so today, Cui Qiao specially went to Zuiyue Lou to invite Chef Qin over, and this dinner is all made according to the standards of Zuiyue Lou.

The reason why this is so, on the one hand, is naturally to celebrate the soaring of Jiangfu. On the other hand, Xiaoxiao also has some other thoughts. These people can be regarded as people with very tricky tastes, so please try the dishes first, and see if there is much difference from the previous Zuiyue Building! As a result, the pace of serving is very slow, often when one dish is almost exhausted, and the second dish is served. After each dish, Xiaoxiao will ask everyone how they feel......

After a dinner, everyone was very satisfied. To summarize in Li Rusong's last sentence:

"Xiaoxiao, if you open tomorrow can guarantee the taste of this dinner tonight, and guarantee your father that your Zuiyue Mansion will not be in January, and you will be able to restore the style of the previous Zuiyue Lou, or even more than in the past......"
